PSALMS – VOL. IX: WATCHTOWER HYMNS – The Shaken Remnant

Synopsis:
Volume IX (Psalms 121–135) plays like a staircase of choir songs for travelers—pilgrims singing under a watchful God. It opens with “Keeper of My Steps,” a steady ascent psalm about the God who doesn’t sleep, then enters the city with “City of Our Feet,” praying peace over old stones and thrones. “Eyes Lifted Higher” cries for mercy under scorn, and “If Not for You” is a full-choir testimony of almost being swept away. The middle stretch circles trust and community: “Like the Mountain” anchors faith in a ring of hills, “Tears in One Hand” walks the path of sowing in grief and reaping in laughter, “House We Can’t Build” and “Belonging at the Table” frame home, children, and daily work as gifts you can’t secure by hustle alone. The back half leans harder into scars and quiet hope: “Lines on My Back” remembers persecution without surrender, “Watchman’s Morning” waits for God like dawn on night shift, “Quieted” is a tiny lullaby of humility, “Promise in the Bones” sings David’s oath and God’s reply, “Oil and Dew” celebrates unity as thick blessing, “Night Shift Blessing” nods to those who worship in the dark hours, and “Name Above the Noise” closes with a full-band choir anthem over dead idols and fading empires. Arrangements are choir-forward—call-and-response, stacked harmonies, and room-singing energy—while still sounding like a Shaken Remnant record, not a worship set.
